An absorbent article that helps maintain a wearer's skin pH in an acidic condition is described. The absorbent article has a body contacting surface with a skin care composition that is transferred from the body contacting surface to the wearer's skin by contact, normal wearer motion and/or body heat. The skin care composition contains at least one proton donating active. Preferred proton donating actives include: monomeric organic acids, polymeric acids, and inorganic acid salts. The absorbent article also includes a liquid impermeable backsheet and an absorbent core positioned between the body contacting surface and the backsheet. |
